Yvain: The Knight of the Lion

In Yvain: The Knight of the Lion (2017–present, Candlewick Press), this single-issue graphic novel adapts the classic 12th-century Arthurian poem by Chrétien de Troyes into a lush, modern comic. Illustrated by Andrea Offermann and scripted by M. T. Anderson, the story follows the knight Yvain on a chivalric quest for honor, love, and redemption after a fateful encounter with a magical lion. Its significance lies in bringing a foundational medieval romance to a new generation through vivid, cinematic artwork and accessible storytelling, bridging literary history with the contemporary comics medium.
